I am running Domain/IX under 9.7.  After logging into the display 
manager I start a program using:

  % background_prog &
  %

If I logout of the display manager my program gets blown away.  
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?  I realize that 
it is possible for the DM to spawn programs that continue to run 
as long as the node is on but that is not quite what we want.
